I finished up the install of 12" PYO Monkey Bagger Bars on my 2011 Street Glide over the weekend. So far I love these bars. I now get more of a flying vs. riding sensation.

I was originally going with 10" MBB, but after waiting and waiting I decided on the 12" since Phat Performance had a set in stock. Plus from all the posts I read, most always said they wish they had gone taller. Seems to be good advice for anyone considering these or any other apes.

I used Magnum Sterling Chromite cables and brake lines. I went with +8" on both and that worked out well. I also extended the wiring 8" with a Namz kit.

I also notched the left side heated grip and switch housing so I could hide the heated grip wire for a cleaner look. I drilled the inner fairing and routed the brake line similar to the clutch cable for a more balanced look.

Running wires through the bars is a pain in the @$$! I'm sure I cussed Paul Yaffe and his momma quite a few times. Other than that the install wasn't bad. End result was definitely worth the effort!

 

looks good, I am getting these for my new SG also. In black of course. Great product, you will be glad you went with the 12's. I measured the 12's they actually measure out closer to 15's but worth it..... very clean install. How long did the job take you?

 

Good Stuff!! I installed mine 2 weeks ago and still grin from ear to ear while riding. I really didnt think running the wiring was as bad as everyone had said, I had the bars wired in less than 30 minutes.. I like the idea of putting the brake line through the fairing like the clutch cable.

Im seriously debating the PYO engine guard bars now as I think the sharp corners will match nicely....But as with the bars they are damn pricey...

 

Nice job
Looks great!

I just installed my 12" PYO last week in black. I need to get some pics. I love them!

I did however notice that the left insert(tapered piece for the controls) is loose. It has play in it. They must not have welded it fully. I am just going to take the controls off and put a few tack welds on it and see if that will work. I damned sure don't want to take them back off!

 

Nice! I did mine 3 weeks ago. More comfortable than stock thats for sure.

 

The same thing happened to mine over the weekend. They actually are glued in not welded. (at least mine were) I just pulled it out as far as possible, put some JB Weld on the bar and slowely pushed/twisted the bar back in slowly to make sure the JB Weld got inside. Once it set up it was as good as new..

 

That does look really nice....Is it comfortable with the pegs flipped out??

 

Looks good. I have them on my SG. You will love em
